SHOW PREVIEW
trained to carry out stop and inspect operations. Experts believe this will lead to more inspections and prosecutions going forward. Seminars will be led by both sponsors, as well as industry organisations – the Health and Safety Laboratory (HSL), the Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport (CILT), the Fork Lift Truck Association (FLTA) and the Regulatory Body for Workplace Transport Training (RTITB). The BSIF and United Kingdom Warehousing Association (UKWA) will also be lending their support. The aim of the Safer Logistics is to encourage managers in the supply chain to take a proactive approach to safety.
Meanwhile, the NEBOSH Education Pavillion, managed by the National Examination Board of Safety and Health, serves as a central point providing access to a multitude of training providers. This area of the exhibition, centred around a café, has an ‘Ask The Expert’ feature and will also offer enhanced opportunities for networking.
Introducing the main conference programme, Louise Ward, Policy, Standards and Communications Director at the British Safety Council, explained: “We recognise that many delegates come and sit in all of the seminar sessions during the day because they want to build their CPD. What we’ve tried to do is balance this year’s educational programme so that each day delegates get the opportunity to experience a variety of educational presentations, including legal updates, interactive sessions and best practice case studies. We’ve also deliberately chosen to run with three one-hour sessions each day so that delegates can easily attend the other theatre sessions and really get the most out of all of the presentations on offer.”
The main conference programme begins with Chris Green, a Partner at Weightmans law firm, delivering an overview of recent health and safety prosecutions. After that, Mark Davies, the Director of Specialist Consultancy 7Futures, will present an interactive session that focuses on building personal resilience and the importance of rest and recovery.
Founder of the RyderMarsh consultancies and author Professor Tim Marsh closes the first day with a spotlight on wellbeing in the workplace.
The second day kicks off with a case study from Sue Greatorex and Richard Byrne of BSS Industrial, part of Travis Perkins Plc. In this session, the Commercial Director and Safety Director will highlight the innovative

work that BSS is undertaking to achieve effective collaboration with its key supply chain partners on health and safety. This is followed by an interactive panel debate chaired by the British Safety Council’s Louise Ward, which brings together a trio of experts from both sides of the legal fence.
Chris Green returns from Weightmans to highlight the HSE’s highly controversial fee for intervention, the sentencing guidelines and new developments emerging from the health and safety regulator’s 2016 strategy. Kevin Bridges, Partner at Pinsent Masons, will touch on Brexit and its potential impact in the medium-to-long term. He’ll also emphasise the new sentencing guidelines, how it is playing out and the recent level of fines.
Bringing the second day to a close, Mark Ormond, Director at Tribe, will offer a presentation on the role of effective conversations in driving improvements in health and safety culture and performance.
The third, and final, day kicks off with an increasingly important and topical health and safety issue. Launched in January, initially in the construction sector, Mates in Mind is a new mental health initiative, which aims to raise awareness of the prevalence of mental health in the UK.
The closing session is a two-hour mock trial, which gives audience members the unique opportunity to experience a court room situation first hand.
As well as the free educational content at the event, the major draw at the Health and Safety Event is a fast growing exhibition area where the leading names in health and safety will showcase their wares. Major equipment vendors, service providers and distributors all have experts available to answer queries regarding the latest products and services.
